Hurricane Matthew has displaced around 175,500 people. Serious protection concerns in these shelters put at risk some highly vulnerable people due to their age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or a combination of factors. Separated and unaccompanied children, single mothers or single-headed ...households, pregnant or lactating women and girls, families at risk of separation, and people with chronic illnesses have also been identified.
